Welcome to our 50th-week recap of 2022, only two more to go! This week, Oppo launched the Find N2 and N2 Flip. The Find N2 is an evolution of the Find N with a thinner and lighter body, new hinge, a better camera system, and a much better display among other things. The Find N2 has a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip, a faster-charging battery (67W), and a 120Hz cover screen. The Find N2 will be available in China for now with no word on global availability. What is going global is Oppo's Find N2 Flip, which is a whole new device category for Oppo. It has a fairly big 3.62-inch cover display (a...

Samsung Galaxy A23 5G in for review

The Samsung Galaxy A23 5G just arrived and it's next up for review. So, you know the drill, let's unbox it. As unboxings go, this one is quick. The Galaxy A23 5G comes with a single accessory - a USB cable. No case, nor charger. That's not the best look for a device that's €300 but hey, it's environmentally-friendly. There's nothing wrong with the Galaxy A23 5G's specs. You get a 6.6-inch 1080p display that can refresh at 120Hz, a 6nm Snapdragon 695 chipset, a 50MP main camera, and a 5,000mAh battery that can recharge at 25W. The display isn't AMOLED but it's perfectly fine...

Weekly deals: the best smartphone deals from Germany, the US, the UK and India

We’ve scrolled through online offers in several countries and picked out the most interesting deals. We try to keep it fresh so we will try to avoid repeating the same deals as last week, even though some are still active – and some have gotten better. Use the links below to jump to your region: Germany The UK USA India Germany The Xiaomi 13 series was unveiled this week and the vanilla model looks quite good. However, it is not clear when it will reach international markets. Also, the vanilla 12 originally cost €800, so the 13 should be in the same ballpark....

Weekly poll: is the Xiaomi 13 Pro your next flagship? What about the vanilla Xiaomi 13?

Xiaomi unveiled its new flagship series last Sunday and sales started this Wednesday – this is only the second mainstream phone to use the 1” Sony IMX989 sensor after the vivo X90 Pro+ from earlier. Before that it was featured on the China-only Xiaomi 12S Ultra and the Sharp Aquos R6, which is similarly limited in availability. The 13-series also brings an official IP rating for the first time, IP68, of course, as is befitting a flagship. There is no “lite” model this time, it’s just the vanilla and the Pro. While we’re still waiting on Xiaomi to detail international availability, let’s...

Weekly poll results: Realme 10 Pro+ gets some love, 10 Pro falls flat

The results from last week’s poll are in and it doesn’t look good for the Realme 10 Pro. The Realme 10 Pro+, however, has a real shot at stardom. Even though their names differ by only one character the two phones are different from one another in ways that matter. The Realme 10 Pro+ stood out in our review (also video review) with its bright, color-accurate screen, with (for the first time in the series) a premium-looking curved display. The rear cameras were another plus as they performed well both during the day and at night (though the selfie cam isn't all that good) We were...

Asus Zenbook 14X OLED Space Edition review

Asus sent its first laptop - the P6300 - into space to MIR Space Station 25 years ago, and to commemorate this achievement, the Taiwanese tech giant launched the Zenbook 14X OLED Space Edition (UX5401ZAS). It is basically a version of the regular Zenbook 14X OLED (UX5401) coming with a Space-themed design, accessories, and packaging. Those extras also mean you pay more for the Space Edition than the regular model. And while that futuristic design and fancy accessories may appeal to Space enthusiasts, is it good enough to entice mainstream users? I used the Asus Zenbook 14X OLED Space...
